Tippecanoe Boat Company does not prioritize customer service or endeavor to make their mistakes…read moreright. Our family visits the area once a year around the 4th of July to stay on Dewart Lake which is only 5 miles from Tippecanoe Lake. Due to the high rental demand during the summer, we reserved a boat 4 months before our trip to assure availability. With this reservation we also scheduled boat delivery to Dewart Lake. Then...less than one week before our trip, Tippecanoe Boat Company called and told me they would not do a delivery for a single day rental over the weekend, even though this was very clearly the way the reservation contract was originally written. They were going to cancel our reservation. They would not find one person in their company to drive a boat 5 miles to keep their word. Neither could we rent an extra day to get the delivery as everything was booked (exactly the reason we booked 4 months ahead of time). Nor could we pick the boat up ourselves (insurance reasons). The only thing we could do was take all our family away from our cabins on the lake we were vacationing at and hang out all day at their lake. After multiple emails back and forth, Tippecanoe Boat Company refused to bend, completely disappointed an entire group of kids, lost a potential long-term client, and tarnished their reputation. Do not trust their word, or the contracts they write.

We have been customers of Tippecanoe Boat Company for over a decade now. The service there is…read moreabsolutely amazing. Any issues we had with our boat are handled with expert care and efficiency. The crew there treats us like family. Their prices are very reasonable and fair. They take care of our boat every season and each spring I'm amazed at how great she looks when they put her in the water. It's exactly like how I would personally treat her. If you're looking for a marina or a boat service center that actually cares for their customers and strives to treat you like you'd treat yourself, I have only the highest recommendation for Tippecanoe Boat Company.

The prices are reasonable, the folks that work here know what they are doing and you'll always be treated with respect. If you are looking to have your boat serviced or detailed this is the place.

Luckily I noticed this in time. After contacting their service manager and providing them with receipts and pictures; nothing. Completely ghosted me and after multiple attempts they will not respond. Will never be back and am telling this story to as many lake friends as possible.

We purchased 2 Dixie Sternwheeler tickets for $14 TOTAL on Sunday, July 7, 2024 just before the…read more8:00 p.m. trip. The young woman selling the tickets never indicated the Dixie would not be running that night. We learned from others that the Dixie was down, had only made the 2:00 p.m. Sunday trip, and needed repairs. This girl knew the Dixie was not running and sold us tickets for a ride she knew was not happening on Sunday. She told us to return the following day for a ride. On Monday we were told the Dixie was still not repaired just before the ride was to sail. A man was now selling tickets to people and not telling them the Dixie would not be moving either. When anyone objects they are told, "We don't give refunds." Then WHY are you selling tickets for trips that do not exist? We were told to return Tuesday. This time the young woman was selling tickets to customers and not telling them there would be no rides on Tuesday as the Dixie was still down. Frankly, this is fraud selling tickets to ride a sternwheeler that is not working and then refusing to refund consumers' money. We will not be returning to North Webster so our tickets are worthless. The young woman still wanted to sell me another set of tickets Tuesday night until I told her, "You know full-well that boat is not going anywhere." She muttered, "Oh, I forgot." Apparently, it is their job to sell tickets to anyone walking through the door while knowing the boat won't be running. Tell me what you would call this--a scam, fraud, theft? Do not purchase tickets until you see people walking onto the Dixie because you will be losing your money if the ship needs repairs, unless you happen to live in the immediate area of the Dixie. Refunds should be mandatory when the ship is broken and cannot be repaired for days. The sternwheeler was still not running on Wednesday, July 10 yet tickets were being sold to "Ride the Dixie" on that day too. Hmmmmm! I guess they think we are all "suckers" because they stick us with tickets and keep the money.

I took my boat to them for warranty repair and to have a fish finder installed. 3 weeks to get the…read morework done, but they are probably busy. They wanted to charge significantly more than they initially quoted for the fish finder work. After my complaining they reduced the labor. My biggest issue is when I got the boat home and took off the cover there was lots of fiberglass shavings at the helm and styrofoam pieces all over the place. The interior was filthy and there was lots of water in the bilge making me believe that they stored the boat in their yard with the cover off (I delivered it clean with the cover on). Not a professional operation in my opinion.

In an attempt to correct this problem, long self tapping screws were used. This caused an unsafe situation for myself and ruined the ice container. I took the boat back and the question to me was"do you even use this as an ice bucket". I had hoped their only concern was to return my boat to its original condition. I was told then they would order a new container; to date nothing has been done to rectify this. I have stopped in to the dealer twice and have called many times each with an answer that they will call me back but that has not happened. Due to heart issues I am on blood thinners and the screws that went into the rod area poised a safety concern for me because I bleed very easily. I did replace those screws with stainless steel bolts. They did remove the screw that ruined the ice container and installed a bolt so it could be used and water would not leak into the hull. My last conversation with Jaren (owners son) was on May 13, 2025. He was to find out the status and return my call. As of this post, still nothing! On a positive note, I love my boat and have found a dealership to service it.
